Goodbye, Red Flag Chapter 10
Sebastian shot Suzanna a glare. "You can go home if you can't stand it. I will wait here."Suzanna was stunned. Her eyes reddened and filled with tears. "Why are you talking to me like that? I was only worried about you, Bastien. I feel terrible for you."Rage surged through him. "Shut up! She would never have left me if you didn't exist. Do you think I didn't notice your stupid pick-me tricks?"My parents may have been foolish enough to fall for them, but I'm not. From now on, you and I are nothing but strangers. Get out of my sight."Sebastian had never spoken to Suzanna like this before.Fury rose in her as well. "Shit!" she shouted, then stormed off.-More time passed. I grew desensitized to his presence. To me, he became little more than a moving statue in the neighborhood.One morning, on my way home from the market, I ran into Seth Myers, a childhood friend and former classmate. He had grown quite tall since our teenage years. He also seemed wiser and more mature.I le
Goodbye, Red Flag Chapter 9
"I didn't visit your mom because I was swamped with work. I didn't know she was this sick, Maddie!" Sebastian said frantically. "Slap me, hit me, do anything you want to me. I just want us to get back together. I would do anything!"He was still clinging to a ridiculous excuse. He was a hospital doctor. He could have found out about my mother's condition with ease.I did not want to waste any more time on him."I meant what I said in my text. It's over, Sebastian. Over means finished. Being your girlfriend exhausted me," I said. "Go home. Be with Suzanna. Your parents would love that. Forget about me.""No!" he wailed. "I love you, not her! I can't be happy unless I'm with you! If she's the problem, I can kick her out of our lives. I won't let this upset you anymore!"He pressed on, voice rising with conviction, "I don't even mind if you want to stay in Downwarren. As long as we get back together, I'll stay here with you too!"Sebastian sounded confident, as if abandoning everyth
Goodbye, Red Flag Chapter 8
My mother's health gradually improved, to my great relief. I knew it proved that what I had been doing was helping.She sometimes mentioned Sebastian in passing, but I always changed the subject as gently as I could. I had never told her about our breakup. I worried she might think it was her fault.Of course, my mother was not stupid. I had come home so suddenly and showed no interest in returning to Annsberg. Anyone could guess why.I felt guilty. Sebastian always treated her with barely disguised contempt and irritation whenever she visited me, yet she endured it for my sake. That prick had hurt her countless times over the course of our relationship, and I still kept sticking with him.I hated him even more once I truly understood this.In my imagination, Sebastian hurled insults at empty air after realizing I had left. He ranted about how blind I was to give up a man as promising as he was, especially before marrying Suzanna. He might even have fantasized about me regretting
Goodbye, Red Flag Chapter 7
"Dr. Ross! There's an emergency operation. We need you here, now!"…By the time Sebastian finished the procedure, several hours had passed since midnight.A doctor's job was never easy. Madeleine always worried about how much work and stress he carried, even when she was exhausted from her own job. Whenever he worked overtime, she would cook his favorite dishes for supper and bring them to his office.He always told her he did not need it and asked her to focus on getting enough sleep instead, but good luck convincing a woman in love. Madeleine only wanted to do kind things for the man she loved so deeply.Sebastian would sip the broth Madeleine made while she sat beside him, sharing funny stories and small jokes from my day. At the time, they lived far from his parents and from Suzanna. It was just the two of them.Madeleine thought those moments offered a glimpse of their happily ever after.Sometimes, Sebastian stayed busy deep into the night. On those nights, Madeleine wait
Goodbye, Red Flag Chapter 6
Sebastian was going to make me stay.I was already on my way home. In the steady hum of the train, I said goodbye to everything in Annsberg and to the man who had led me there.My phone vibrated. I glanced at the screen.Sebastian: [Where are you, Maddie?]Sebastian: [Maddie, don't leave me! I know I was wrong now!]Sebastian: [Maddie, talk to me, okay? I'm sorry. I messed up! Please don't leave me!]His barrage of apologies and pleading left me unmoved. It was too late. If Sebastian had looked me in the eye back then, none of this would have happened.I deleted the messages and blocked him on every social platform and contact method I could think of. Then I opened my chat with my mom.She asked what time I would reach Downwarren. She chatted cheerfully about tidying my room. She told me she had gone to the market that morning to buy ingredients for my favorite Southern chicken stew.Warmth spread through my chest. That was what love felt like."You never need to search for l
Goodbye, Red Flag Chapter 5
Sebastian fell into a long silence. He had wondered whether Madeleine could truly be angry with him after everything he had done lately. That fear was why he had strained his mind to come up with an excuse.It had always been easy for him to regain Madeleine's good graces. A small gift was often enough. After that, he would twist everything until it became her fault, framing every conflict as proof of her immaturity, insecurity, and inconsideration.Madeleine used to forgive him without hesitation. She was willing to believe him. Not anymore.Sebastian had never imagined that Madeleine would break up with him. He was used to her giving in, no matter how pathetic his excuses were or how often he failed to keep his promises. These text messages changed that.For the first time, panic set in. He turned away from his parents and Suzanna.She grabbed his wrist, concern creeping into her voice."Where are you going, Bastien? I already ordered our food before we arrived!" she complained
